You may recall this post wherein I discussed my squirrel problem. See him up there on top of the roof? His name is Stubby. Little fucker.
He has become annoying enough that SB will be calling someone today. I just wish he was a nameless, faceless squirrel. He has this chopped off tail (hence the clever name) so he is distinctive. I am trying not to get too mushy about this, though, because something HAS to be done. I am really hoping for a non-lethal solution*. Can’t the someone just come and figure out where he is getting in and block it up? I hope so. However, at this point, I really don’t care. MBNH is for me and SB only.
* Did I mention the novelist next door has written a short story about Stubby? God help us.

Nature attacked us again on Thursday night when our fence blew down. Homeownership can be hard to get used to sometimes. Funnily enough, in the wee hours of friday morning, I heard what sounded like lumber blowing about, but I just rolled over and went back to sleep.
Note to self: You are a Home Owner now. The sound of ‘lumber blowing about’ is cause for alarm.
SB and my Dad fixed ‘her right up over the weekend. Here they are posing with the finished fence. SB is not the most naturally gifted towards typical boy things like construction and car repair, so he was VERY proud of himself. All weekend he kept saying ‘Hey, remember when I used my powertools and fixed the fence?’

Just so Nature knows that we’re still friends (you know she reads my blog) I will praise her magnificence for good measure. It snowed* for a few minutes yesterday and I spent some time in the yard admiring it. For a split second, each snow flake was so pretty on my arm before it melted away.
* This is typical snowfall for around here. It really almost never snows, if then, only for 10 minutes with no stickage. I realize admiring snowflakes is not a novel nor entertaining activity in many parts this time of year.

My neighbors have now observed me giving my roof the bird and photographing my arm. And I looked like such a nice girl. Bummer about the Crazy.
